Personally I've always preferred Takahata's work over Miyazaki's (whose output is still world class...). Only Yesterday is severely underrated in my opinion.

- loloquwowndueo 4y agoDon’t confuse “relatively unknown” with “underrated”. It is very highly rated: “The film received widespread critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 100%”.

- interestica 4y agoWeird. Just 5 mins ago i saw that Cineplex is playing Only Yesterday across Canada (Ontario for sure) next week. https://www.cineplex.com/movie/only-yesterday https://www.cineplex.com/movie/only-yesterday

- macleginn 4y agoI fully agree with your sentiment. Perhaps his wide stylistic range made it impossible for him to become a brand in the same way.
- the_af 4y agoFortunately, one doesn't have to choose! I love both Miyazaki's and Takahata's work. Recently (?) there was an influx of Ghibli movies on Netflix, so I finally watched "Only Yesterday" and... I loved it! I strongly recommend this movie. Of course there's also his powerful "Grave of the Fireflies", but I think that one is well known by all anime fans and needs no recommending.
- gommm 4y agoAbsolutely, Only yesterday shows the nostalgia for one's childhood in a way few movies do. My Neighbors the Yamadas is also really worth watching
